mail-merge

At work (Exchange server) our team often needs to send emails to 500+ partners. It's currently a very dull job, so I've tried the merge features in Office 2007. However, it can't:

Include a merge field in the subject ("Regarding your account: ")
Send to semi-colon separated addresses (one line might be "[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]")
Send from a particular mailbox account, and store all the sent mails in Outlook.

Can anyone recommend any free/affordable software which will work with Exchange and can be used commercially?
